Market Exposure - A Week of Deep Diving Rugged and Remote Destinations
Last week SATSA indulged in adventure, gastronomy, and breathtaking natural scenery. Our COO, Hannelie du Toit, was hosted on the St Helena Island Showcase, and Shanaaz Taliep, our Membership Manager, got her adventure on in the Cederberg.
We love showcasing and exploring with our members. Remember to have a look at our website - Marketing & Market Access and the SATSA Library & Toolkits to access information of previous Fam trips. They make a great addition to upskilling new consultants with direct product knowledge.
Cederberg
In partnership with Wesgro, SATSA hosted 10 trade members on a 3 Night/4 Day Cederberg Adventure Fam. As participants attested to, this was more than a trip; it was a testament to the spirit of exploration and excellence that defines the Western Cape.
Our adventure stalwart, Cany Bugler, kindly put together a quick video overview of the Fam. Have a look here.
Says Cany “What a wonderful fam trip this was! Loved the route. The sheer beauty of the areas we travelled through is a reminder to us of what magic we have to sell to the world. The venues we stayed at were all great and again shows the diversity of what there is on offer, from luxury to adventure. Travelling in the Jeeps was super fun and thanks to the Jeep Tours Cape Town team for the safe journey and exciting moments on the 4x4 trail. The lunch venues were also fab and although we all ate too much the food throughout was excellent. Thanks to Shanaaz for all your hard work, to SATSA, Wesgro and all the sponsors, I am very grateful for opportunities like these to broaden my product knowledge. To all those I met for the first time and to all those I already know, it was wonderful travelling along with you. I have posted 14 reels which hopefully encapsulate our journey – visit Facebook and Insta to view.”
“Thank you all for an amazing time! For my very first FAM i could not have asked for better! Definitely laughed, enjoyed and learnt so much! It’s been a privilege!” Marichen Visser, New African Safaris.
“What a trip. I'm still glowing. Thank you everyone. Beautiful products with a great selection of accommodation and activities. This was a very special showcase.” Helen Baker, AWOL Tours.
St Helena Island
We do not possess enough poetic prowess to do justice to this unique destination, so have opted to spark your interest with a short photo essay which can be viewed here.
Our sincere thanks to St Helena Tourism for hosting SATSA and some of its members and partners for a remarkable showcase.
There is much to be done together and we are happy to announce that the journey will start with SATSA membership for St Helena Tourism. They will be attending the SATSA Conference as well, but we are hoping to host virtual networking sessions for tourism and investment opportunities prior to the conference. Keep an eye on our news.
